If more than 2,000,000 Class B Shares are tendered to the Offer, TVA Group will purchase the Class B Shares on a pro rata basis according to the number of Class B Shares deposited, or deemed to be deposited under the terms of the Offer, by the depositing shareholders with fractions rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Offer is subject to various conditions typical of transactions of this nature, including obtaining regulatory exemption rulings, although it is not conditional on any minimum number of Class B Shares being deposited.
Neither TVA Group nor its Board of Directors makes any recommendation to shareholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their Class B Shares to the offer. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to review the offer documents carefully and to consult with their financial and tax advisors prior to making any decision with respect to the offer.
National Bank Financial Inc. has been retained by TVA Group to act as dealer manager for the offer.
"We believe that repurchasing outstanding Class B Shares represents an attractive investment and an appropriate and desirable use of our available funds and that our publicly traded Class B Shares are currently undervalued. We have therefore decided to reduce the number of shares outstanding because it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders", stated Pierre Dion, President and Chief Executive Officer of TVA Group Inc.
